The military doesn't allow us to do "cash & carry" because it violates the rules & regulations stating that we are not allowed to accept mail for others. I've only sold one thing, and it was to a close friend who hosted & really wanted the HWC Dots Martini glasses. So I sold her the ones I had used at booths only for 1/2 price in June. She was SUPER happy! LOLSheila said:The military just moved us & we were over our weight allowance. So I'm going to have to start liquidating. But I think I'll start with other stuff! LOL I'm not quite ready to give up my PC addiction.

Anyway, people will play several times to win the big prize, and by the end of the booth I've made enough to cover the booth fee and the suprise boxes too (that we used to get at NC. I was a surprise box junkie:bugeye. When I need to purge the PC room, I have new prizes. That's what I do to keep from being overloaded with products. But I have to admit, I probably don't cull as close as my husband would like since we share an office and he can't walk through it due to PC stuff:yuck:!
Sheila said:Which rule? The weight allowance or the accepting mail for others rule? Not sure I'm willing to take on the military & Japanese Customs on the latter one ...
When deciding which Pampered Chef products to keep in inventory, I consider factors such as popularity, seasonal trends, and customer feedback. I also analyze sales data to identify which items consistently perform well and which may need to be phased out.
Absolutely! Customer preferences play a crucial role in my decision-making process. I often ask for feedback during parties and events, and I pay attention to which products customers express interest in or request. This helps me tailor my inventory to meet their needs.
I typically review and update my product selection every few months. This allows me to stay current with new product releases from Pampered Chef, as well as to remove items that may not be selling as well. Keeping my inventory fresh ensures that I can offer my customers the latest and greatest kitchen tools.
Yes, I have specific criteria for evaluating new products. I look for items that are innovative, high-quality, and versatile. Additionally, I consider the price point and how well the product fits into my overall sales strategy. Customer reviews and testimonials also play a significant role in my evaluation process.
For products that don’t sell well, I first analyze the reasons behind their poor performance. If they are not resonating with customers, I may choose to discount them or bundle them with more popular items to encourage sales. If they continue to underperform, I will consider removing them from my inventory altogether.
